Another Shaker and Baker here, in a $5 Goodwill toaster oven. Properly sized and powder coated, leading is very, very minimal. Usually the barrel looks bright.

I started powder coating probably around four years ago, best move I ever made. I still use my lube sizer on occasion and it always nice to have a backup system besides the old style tumble lube I used to use.
I never had any leading issued to begin with before I started powder coating bullets. What powder coating for me does is it allows me to coat and store lots of bullets out in my shop without having to deal with environmental conditions and my gas operated rifles gas systems love them too. I started out with Harbor Freight Red & Yellow and spraying my bullets but switched over to Shake & Bake once I discovered the method that worked best for me an never looked back. I even apply my gas check now before coating and final sizing as it make it much easier to get them on without any fuss. Cleanup after shooing lots of coated bullets in a day is just basically removing any powder residue with a little solvent and a couple dry patches. |
